       BBC1 and BBC2 are set to transmit the first party political
 broadcast by the BNP in the general election campaign on
 Thursday 21st April. The BBC is not obliged under the law to
 transmit the broadcast. There are precedents for restrictions being
 put on the fascist and racist BNP - its previous broadcasts were
 either stopped entirely or subject to severe restriction due to their
 offensive content. Wherever the BNP have a presence, racist
 attacks increase.

 Prominent members of the BNP including its leader Nick Griffin
 have recently been charged under the section 18 of the Public
 Order Act which outlaws incitement to racial hatred.
